BOMAG exits Kewanee plant, plans new facility in southern U.S.

BOMAG Americas says it will cease manufacturing operations in Kewanee, Illinois, by the end of 2014 and relocate its business in a yet-to-be-determined location in the southern United States.

BOMAG says its Kewanee-produced products—single drum rollers, asphalt rollers, and a reclaimer/stabilizer—will either be relocated to the new plant or be replaced with “market-accepted products manufactured in BOMAG facilities in Oklahoma, Germany or China.”
